  I bet something like "Jehovah is pro-blood transfusions" would catch attention!

  What's Wrong With This Picture???

  by Mister Biggs in

  1. social
  2. current

  every memorial that i ever attended, all the attendees wore serious or solemn expressions.. for crying out loud, as quoted in the friggin' article, it's supposed to be the commemoration of the death of christ!.

  from all the visible faces in the pictutre below, only three appear to not be grinning.

  my favorite is the guy who appears to be sleeping (he is the one to the left shoulder of the closest attendant).. .

  matthew 10:11-14 says,.

  "into whatever city or village you enter, search out who in it is deserving, and stay there until you leave.

  when you are entering into the house, greet the household; and if the house is deserving, let the peace you wish it come upon it; but if it is not deserving, let the peace from you return upon you.

  ThiChi: I agree with you that the Scriptures do not advocate a door to door basis for preaching. But it seems to me that Jesus and his disciples' ministry did not exclude houses. See Luke 5:17-26 (verse 19 indicates Jesus was preaching in a house); compare with Mark 2:1-12; Luke 8:51 (here Jesus raises Jairus' daughter in a house); Luke 14:1-24(here in the context of a meal in a house Jesus addresses the Pharisees and guests--gives a parable), etc. Certainly St. Paul preached and taught not only in public but in homes as well. (Acts 20:20-21) And Peter, who had been with Jesus, had no qualms of preaching in Cornelius' house (Acts 10:34-48). The early Christians met in upper rooms (presumably in homes?) for prayer (Acts 1:12-14),
  for preaching (Acts 20:7--12). Maybe these meeting places are the house churches of Romans 16:5? At any rate, it seems to me, that homes were not used solely for lodging purposes.

  It seems to me that Jesus and his disciples didn't visit a village just to obtain lodging. Seems to me that they went there with a purpose: to preach, heal, cast out demons, etc. and to accomplish this they needed a place to stay. They weren't supposed to change their base of operations from house to house. But no where were they told to go to court if they were unwelcome.

  How does Matt. 24:14 negate Matt. 10:11-14?

  What's the point of the Awake?

  by Marilyn in

  2. friends

  admittedly it's been a long time since i've read an awake and i can't remember much about what's in it but doesn't it contain a bunch of superficial articles with a general interest theme?

  like a poor mans readers digest?

  i was recently wondering what the purpose of the awake is?

  Did God Change?

  by tdogg in

  2. beliefs

  i had a discussion with some greek orthodox members recently.

  i was pointing out the disparity between the brutal behavior of "gods people in the o.t.

  and the pacifistic way in which jesus was to have behaved in the n.t.. they accounted for this by explaining that god changed during that time.

  While there are factors pertaining to God that are unchangeable, others appear to be changeable. For instance, He does change His mind (see Jonah 3:10).
